Provenance

Where it came from

The Shining Celebi card, numbered SM79, was released in late 2017 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was distributed specifically within the Shining Legends Super Premium Collection, a commemorative box set designed to celebrate the return of the 'Shining' Pokémon card mechanic, which had previously appeared in the Neo Destiny expansion of the early 2000s.

The artwork features a vibrant, holographic design consistent with the 'Shining' aesthetic, characterized by an alternative color palette for the featured Pokémon. While the specific illustrator of this promotional variant is typically credited within the broader set production team at Creatures Inc., the card is noted for its distinctive foil pattern and its role in reintroducing classic gameplay elements to modern collectors, serving as a bridge between the vintage era and the current Sun & Moon generation.
